5 years of depression

Postby Ashalina » Mon May 31, 2010 4:09 pm

Hello

I am 21 years old i am suffering from depression from 5 years, I am very sad and i can't sleep easily and i lost the interest in everything in the life, I tried to work before one year and I failed I quit from my job and I stayed at home, then again I tried but after one month I failed again and I quit,

I went to 3 doctors for helping but they wasn’t able to help , I tried to help myself a lot, but I cant anymore

I cry everyday with reason or without; I don’t like to go out or to stay with people, its very difficult for me to concentrate

I want to speak I want to scream, and sometime I want to cry but I can't

No one can understand me, only my mom is the one who is able to make me happy but sadly I am far away from her I am not in different country for 10 months that make me feel more lonely and helpless

Writing here in the forum is make me feel comfortable and I am sure ur advices will make me more comfortable

Please tell me what can I do ,

Hi,

When I was very depressed, I started new jobs too, but then left them rapidly. I was on a 'downwartd spiral' in life, and I am sad to see that you seem to be this way too. It is important to be open/honest about your problems, but be open/honest to the right opeople. Some people in your life will not care about your depression, but the right people will. If you have a brother/sister or a good friend, then please talk to them. You could also ask your mother for advice, even though she is very far away.

Please don't do nothing, however, as I think you need help. I will always be here for now to help you as much as I can.

Thanks Kevin for the response

Well nothing in my hands now I am out of control, the only thing that I am doing it and it's satisfying me is isolating my self from people and sitting in my room for a weeks, no one is seeing my face and I am not seeing any faces.

I am really really down and not enjoying anything, I graduated from university last week but I am not happy, I am half dead or you can say I am dead

I am using a tablet to help me to sleep because I really sometime stay awake for two days without sleeping which make my mood down

Interesting... I just read that pandol contains paracetamol and 'diphenhydramine', which is what causes drowsiness (at least it's supposed to). It seems better than other sleeping tablets (which can really bugger your muscles and give you cold sweats).

hmm, if yuo are waiting for things to get better on their own, then realise that they won't. I'm guessing that you already know this, but i wanted to say it because other people seem to wait around for things to get better on their own. To help yourself get better, you must be open to trying new things. Never give up trying. When something is wrong, do something to fix it as best as you can.

I have some problems with an eating disorder right now, for example, and much of what I learned from my therapist will have to be re-applied if I want to feel better. However, I write notes about possible ways to feel better. For example, at the moment I eat late at night and then just some fruit in the morning. With my therapist, I was 'trained' to eat a better breakfast and lunch. So, I've wrte a note to myself to eat some cereal for breakfast instead of just cereal. once I get that working, I will write a note to remind myself to eat lunch too.

Things will be difficult, but I'll endeavour to be here when you need guidance or a lending ear of support.

Hope you are feeling good after 4years. I had or still have same problem as you. Depressed for years....Yeah!! I was depressed because how my life was turing out to be. And still turning out. I am 27 old guy. Really have lost self confidence that I could be a father and take care of the family. I cant . I m single. But thinking of future and looking at my current self. Nothing much have changed. What makes me depressed is loosing thing that I can't afford to lose.

But you know what this is life. Gods given us the power to change it. Connect it. Share it. And mostly live it.

I lost my depression for 2 years form 25 age till now. But life still the same. No matter what I plan or try my best, It just ruins it. I DONT know who lives better you or me.

But let me tell you. I got used to this kinda life. And I feel better.

I am just sharing my piece of my life. I guess it help.

It just thought me that to never give up and keep the hopes up and keep walking ahead in your life. Rest So be it.
